AG Bondi calls attacks on Tesla facilities ‘domestic terrorism’ after two more dealerships targeted

By UPI | Breitbart Attorney General Pam Bondi called a spate of recent attacks targeting Tesla facilities and vehicles “domestic terrorism” Tuesday evening, after two dealerships were the victims of arson overnight. Tesla vehicles and property have increasingly become targets of public backlash since its chief executive officer, Elon Musk, has been leading a controversial reshaping of the federal government through his Department of Government Efficiency. Facilities have been set ablaze, cars have been vandalized and shot at and charging stations graffitied. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

McCann: The founders provided remedies for a runaway judiciary

By Steve McCann | American Thinker, Commentary Recently a gaggle of rogue U.S. District Court judges have issued numerous restraining orders and opinions aimed at curtailing, and in some cases overturning, the constitutional authority of President Trump as the head of the executive branch of government. There have been a series of court orders that rival the most egregious judicial decisions in American history, virtually all of which dramatically undermine constitutional separation of powers as well the sovereignty of this nation. What the country is witnessing is the culmination of many decades of ever-expanding judicial activism and the cowardice of the Congress to exert its prerogative to rein in this runaway usurpation of political power. The matter of the supremacy and influ...

Border patrol has seized more eggs than Fentanyl so far this year

By Newsweek U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has seized more egg products from United States borders this year than it has seized pounds of fentanyl. Statistics from the CBP website show that so far in 2025, the agency has seized 5,938 egg products and 1,631 pounds of fentanyl coming into the US. Newsweek could not make an exact one-to-one comparison as CBP measures eggs by number of products and fentanyl by weight. READ THE FULL STORY AT NEWSWEEK

Chief Justice scolds Trump over call to impeach Federal Judge in deportation case: ‘Not an appropriate response’

By  David Zimmermann | National Review Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement on Tuesday pushing back on President Donald Trump after he called for the impeachment of an Obama-appointed judge, who temporarily blocked the Republican administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan illegal immigrants associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.” Earlier in the day, Trump blasted U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., as a “troublemaker” and “agitator” who wasn’t elected in an “overwhelming mandate” by the...

Putin agrees to incremental, temporary ceasefire while Trump seeks more ties with Russia in phone call

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to an incremental and temporary ceasefire during a marathon phone call with President Donald Trump, which included the possibility of a peace deal in the overseas conflict. Trump and Putin began their phone call at 10:00 a.m. and it lasted at least an hour and a half before the White House signaled to reporters that the conversation was over. The White House released a summary of the call, writing that the two world leaders “agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.” “This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infr...

 Stranded NASA astronauts depart ISS for Earth

By Simon Kent | Breitbart NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were on their way home Tuesday after being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) orbital laboratory for 286 days. Their return is thanks in no small part to the combined drive and ambition of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to “go get them.” The pair decided to accelerate the astronauts’ return and laid the blame for their troubles on the tardy Biden administration.

Tristan: Is Trump administration’s DOGE cutting waste or slashing jobs?

By George Tristan | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice In November 2002, I was informed I would be terminated from a well-paying position at Hewlett-Packard. The HP layoffs (approximately 30,000 employees) were prompted by volatile industry turmoil (Dotcom bust) and a merger with Compaq. The 10 years of employment at HP were some of the very best of my career. HP, at that time, was the darling of the Silicon Valley empire, as the Palo Alto garage where Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard started the fledgling company is a California landmark and considered by many the birthplace of the high-tech industry.  This dramatic upheaval in the telecommunications industry resulted in a labor market flooded with unemployed IT professionals. With few options, I accepted a management position ...

Judge who ordered deportation flights of Venezuelan gang members be returned faces calls for impeachment

By Alec Schemmel  | Fox News After Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg issued an order Saturday halting President Donald Trump's rapid deportation of Venezuelan gang members, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill swiftly announced plans to file articles of impeachment in an effort to remove him. Gill made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, noting he would be filing the motion this week. In a subsequent tweet from Elon Musk, the entrepreneur turned Trump advisor responded simply, "Necessary." "The very worst judges – those who repeatedly flout the law – should at least be put to an impeachment vote, whether that vote succeeds or not," Musk followed up in a separate post on X Monday.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Trump’s victory lap at DOJ

By Julie Kelly | Substack On March 14, 2024, I was in the media room at the federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon at the time was presiding over a hearing on two motions filed by defense lawyers representing Donald Trump and his co-defendants seeking to dismiss the classified documents indictment handed down by then Special Counsel Jack Smith in June 2023. My report on the proceedings is here. Trump’s defense lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, were in the courtroom that day representing the president. They were simultaneously defending Trump in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; it was a fraught time as the president also faced a separate federal criminal indictment in Washington related to January 6. (Those proc...
